contents <p>We compute the additive exponential sums S_p = Σ exp(2πi Q(n)/p) for the Titan polynomial Q(n) = n⁴⁷ − (n−1)⁴⁷, a degree-46 cyclotomic norm form satisfying the palindromic symmetry Q(n) = Q(1−n).</p> <p>For the 111 primes p ≡ 1 (mod 47) up to 50,000, the normalized magnitude |S_p|/√p has observed mean ≈ 1.50 and maximum ≈ 8.65 (at p = 283). This mean lies far below both the Gaussian random walk prediction (≈ 5.97 for 45 independent unit vectors) and the generic compact symplectic group USp(44) prediction (≈ 3.74). The palindromic symmetry selects symplectic over orthogonal monodromy; by Katz's theorem, USp(44) is the expected generic group.
